See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3Dports/57488 Until the fix gets committed, the self referring link will be recreated any time you install or update a port under /usr/local that causes mtree(8) to be run. Interestingly the same problem does not occur in /usr/X11R6/share/nls/C Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK --xgyAXRrhYN0wYx8y Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/g9mJdtESqEQa7a0RAqS5AJ0XFuOjljr+ofbzcyS7YKSVcdOTIACdFubn UW6dIlSn73xE1yEs6xHLQ/I= =nR3q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --xgyAXRrhYN0wYx8y--
